    Installing pipework to avoid airlocks

    As long as you have a decent head on pipework you're working on and that there isn't a massive high spot you'll always clear the air.

    tanking. Is it ok to just seal everything with plastic.

    If you can find something that will create a waterproof seal and then be sufficient to stick what ever your tiles/wall panels too then sure. Most installations don't have any tanking but that isn't to say that is the right thing to do.

    I need help finding toilet seat (URGENT)

    Go to a plumbers merchant and ask them to source you one. You'll pay a premium for it but the alternative is the same as anyone else, just a long slog on google trying to find one. I have absolutely no interest in doing that for nothing for you as its not at all interesting to me, I expect it...

    Does this make sense

    Might be worth just checking this person is on the gas safe register. It all sounds pretty comical for any decent plumber and would give you a lot of leverage if it turned out he wasn't on there. https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/find-an-engineer-or-check-the-register/

    UK I wish to add a second boiler to my existing meter. Location 20m away.
